26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For awe do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but bthe Spirit Himself makes intercession1 for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 Now aHe who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints baccording to the will of God.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those awho are the called according to His purpose.
29 For whom aHe foreknew, bHe also predestined cto be conformed to the image of His Son, dthat He might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also acalled; whom He called, these He also bjustified; and whom He justified, these He also cglorified.
God’s Everlasting Love
31 What then shall we say to these things? aIf God is for us, who can be against us?
32 aHe who did not spare His own Son, but bdelivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? aIt is God who justifies.
34 aWho is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, bwho is even at the right hand of God, cwho also makes intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written:
a“For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”
a“For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”
